  Week 04 : Application Writing

  

   

  What is the purpose of an application for leave?

  When an employee seeks a temporary break from their organization due to some personal reasons, they write a leave application letter or letter of absence to the concerned authority. This not only shows professionalism on the employee's part but also gives adequate time to the employer to prepare.

   

   How to Write Leave Application Letter for School?

  ·        Write the letter in a polite manner that expresses your appeal of leave and which sounds genuine.

  ·        Mention the reason clearly for which you are applying for leave.

  ·        The resonance of the letter should be reserved.

  ·        The letter should be concise and to the point.

  ·        Cross-check spelling mistakes or punctuation errors.

  ·        The letter should state the relationship between the child and the sender of the letter.
